On this stream: a live feed of Kshama Sawant's press conference in Seattle, WA where she is expected to announce a run for higher office.


Generated Summary:

Main Topic: Kshama Sawant announces her candidacy for US Congress against incumbent Democrat Adam Smith, framing it as a working-class, anti-war campaign.

Key Points:

  • Challenging Adam Smith: Sawant positions herself as a stark contrast to Adam Smith, criticizing his pro-corporate stance, support for military spending, and backing of the Israeli government. She accuses him of having "blood on his hands" due to his support for the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
  • Platform: Her campaign focuses on key progressive issues:
    • Ending the genocide in Gaza and all US military funding to Israel.
    • Medicare for All (free healthcare for all), funded by taxing the rich.
    • A $25 an hour minimum wage.
  • Movement Building: Sawant emphasizes using her campaign to build mass movements and challenge the Democratic and Republican parties, which she sees as serving the interests of billionaires and war profiteers.
  • Workers Strike Back: She highlights her affiliation with Workers Strike Back and their strategy of fighting for working-class victories through independent campaigns and ballot initiatives.
  • Seattle Successes: She references her past successes on the Seattle City Council, including the $15 minimum wage and the Amazon tax, as examples of what can be achieved through socialist policies and grassroots organizing.
  • Free Healthcare Initiative: Announces a 2026 Seattle ballot initiative to tax wealthy corporations $5 billion annually to fund free healthcare for all city residents.
  • Rejecting Corporate Influence: Sawant pledges to accept only the average worker's wage if elected and donate the rest of her congressional salary to workers' and social justice movements.

Highlights:

  • Strong condemnation of Adam Smith's record: Accusations of being a "wararmonger," "baby killer," and a representative of Wall Street and the weapons industry.
  • Emphasis on independent, socialist politics: Rejection of the Democratic Party and its "corporate and wararmongering agenda."
  • Call to action: Urging working people to get involved in her campaign and build a powerful movement to challenge the status quo.
  • Focus on Gaza: Strong stance against the genocide in Gaza and US support for Israel.
  • Local to National: Using local Seattle successes as a model for national change.

Left?! Left of who? Mussolini?

Easy, to the left of Democrats.

The duopoly and the United States in general do not have a party that is on the left; both the red and blue teams are corporate parties pushing the status quo of the ruling class (oligarchs).

Generated Summary below:

Main Topic: The video discusses the widespread support Glenn Greenwald received after private videos of him were leaked online in what is perceived as a politically motivated smear attempt.

Key Points:

  • The Leak: Private videos of Glenn Greenwald engaging in consensual intimate acts were released without his consent, which he considers a criminal and malicious act intended to harm him politically.
  • Unexpected Support: Despite political differences, many figures across the political spectrum, including Caitlyn Johnston, Sulieman Ahmed, Rob Schneider, Megan Kelly, Matt Gates, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, and even some Zionists, publicly defended Greenwald.
  • Motivations Behind the Attack: The video suggests the leak was an attempt to silence Greenwald's critical journalism, particularly his reporting on Israel and its intelligence activities. It is speculated that the leak could be related to Greenwald's recent interview with Tucker Carlson, where he discussed Israel's spying on American citizens.
  • Backfire Effect: The smear attempt largely backfired, with many people rallying to Greenwald's defense, highlighting the importance of free speech and condemning the invasion of privacy.
  • Comparison to Other Cases: The video draws a parallel to the case of Azerbaijani journalist Khadija Ismayilova, who also had sex tapes leaked in an attempt to silence her reporting on corruption.

Highlights:

  • The broad and unexpected support for Glenn Greenwald from across the political spectrum.
  • The discussion of Israel's potential motivations for targeting Greenwald, including his reporting on Israeli intelligence activities and his interview with Tucker Carlson.
  • The condemnation of the smear attempt as a politically motivated attack on a journalist's freedom of speech.
  • The observation that the attempt backfired, strengthening support for Greenwald and highlighting the desperation of those trying to silence him.

Video Description:

Katie Halper and Aaron Maté go over the worst moments of the Sunday morning news shows that they watch so you don’t have to.

If it's Monday Morning, it's #mondaymourning


Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video analyzes segments from Sunday morning news shows and other media appearances, focusing on political hypocrisy and the impact of policies on vulnerable populations, particularly concerning healthcare and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Key Points:

  • Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill": The hosts criticize the bill for extending tax cuts for the wealthy, increasing military spending, and cutting Medicaid, arguing it harms vulnerable people while benefiting the rich.
  • Senator Joanie Ernst's "We're All Going to Die" Comment: The hosts mock Ernst's response to concerns about Medicaid cuts, highlighting the callousness of justifying harmful policies with the inevitability of death. They also criticize her attempt to "apologize" while doubling down on her stance.
  • Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The video condemns the ongoing violence in Gaza, highlighting the massacre of civilians seeking aid and the deceptive practices of Israeli-backed aid organizations. It challenges the narrative that Israel is only targeting Hamas, arguing that civilians are the primary victims.
  • Jake Tapper's Pro-Israel Bias: The hosts criticize Jake Tapper for his pro-Israel stance and his use of the term "theology of oppressor and oppressed" to dismiss criticism of Israeli policies. They accuse him of ignoring the suffering of Palestinians and promoting Israeli propaganda.
  • Mike Johnson's Claims About Medicaid Cuts: The hosts debunk House Speaker Mike Johnson's claim that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid, pointing out that it reduces access to healthcare for vulnerable populations. They refute his assertion that many Medicaid recipients are able-bodied men abusing the system.
  • Cindy McCain's Criticism of Gaza Starvation: The hosts highlight Cindy McCain's (head of the World Food Programme) criticism of the starvation siege in Gaza, noting the irony of a lifelong neocon taking a more progressive stance than many elected officials.

Highlights:

  • The segment featuring Senator Joanie Ernst's "apology" video, which the hosts found to be a doubling down on her initial insensitive comments.
  • The discussion of Jake Tapper's pro-Israel bias and his attempts to frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in terms of "oppressor vs. oppressed" theology.
  • The analysis of Mike Johnson's misleading statements about Medicaid cuts and his portrayal of Medicaid recipients as abusers of the system.
  • The overall theme of exposing political hypocrisy and the harmful consequences of policies that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.

They look like concept cars, so many weird features, distracting screens, lack of menu languages.

Yes, the Chinese companies seem to be pushing the more experimental features on consumer cars much more than Western companies.

The funniest thing were cracked windshields and roof glasses.

You are right; Rich mentions that (26:06 mark), hahaha.

26:06: "number two every single windshield is cracked mysteriously yeah or in the sun yeah the sunroof over there that one's cracked this one is not cracked yet"

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video explores Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids that are currently not available in the US market, examining their features, quality, and potential impact on the American automotive industry.

Key Points:

  • Prevalence of Chinese Products: The video starts by highlighting how much we rely on products made in China, from electronics to everyday items, questioning why cars are an exception.
  • DARCARS Alaska Trip: The creator was invited by DARCARS to test drive several Chinese EVs in Alaska, driving on the Dalton Highway.
  • Vehicle Overview: The video showcases several models, including the Fang Cheng Bao, YangWang, Wuling Bingo, Dolphin, Geely Galaxy, Way Blue Mountain, Voyah Free, Denda Zeni GT, Ido M9, and Aito, discussing their features, horsepower, range, and pricing.
  • Impressive Features and Quality: The creator expresses surprise at the build quality, luxurious interiors, and advanced features like massage seats, large screens, and unique functionalities like "crab walking" (lateral movement).
  • Pricing and Value: The cars are noted to be significantly cheaper than comparable American or European models, offering a lot of features for the price.
  • Potential Market Disruption: The video suggests that if these cars were available in the US, they could disrupt the market due to their combination of features, quality, and affordability.
  • Design Inspiration: While some designs appear to be inspired by existing models from Mercedes, Ford, and others, the Chinese manufacturers are also adding their own unique spin.
  • Lifetime Warranty: Some of the vehicles offer a lifetime powertrain and battery warranty for the first owner, showcasing the manufacturer's confidence in their product.
  • Corner Cutting: The video points out that some cost-cutting measures are evident, particularly in the size of the brakes.
  • Import Plan: The creator jokes about importing a used Chinese car from Mexico, where they are sold, to the US.

Highlights:

  • The "crab walking" feature of the YangWang U8.
  • The luxurious interior and features of the Huawei Aito, including the footrest and projector.
  • The significant price difference compared to similar American or European cars.
  • The discussion about why these cars aren't available in the US and their potential impact on the market.
  • The breakfast Whopper in Alaska.

@leonelcadet3833 | 2 months ago

DID HE SAY, 1100 hp for 57K with an electric driving range of (750-800+)? It makes me rethink everything about the U.S. car industry.

@johnkenney6995 | 2 months ago

I'm old enough to remember when they said the same thing about Japanese cars.

@dtmfab7728 | 2 months ago

The biggest problem is, once the American dealerships get ahold of it, they mark them all up to all over a hundred thousand dollars.... American greed.

@TheRealEnate | 1 month ago

That vehicle for 24k here would absolutely murder the American Car market. An rightfully so... ample space looks great and feature filled.

@rolandoq | 2 months ago

Milwaukee Tools, the company, is owned by a Hong Kong based holding. So, yeah, it’s not only the products.

@TimGray | 2 months ago

They dont want them here because the american car companies would have to actually compete. They prefer the inflated car prices as it maximizes profits.

@Sonyhamster | 2 months ago

I drive a XPENG in Europe. Seriously the technology and build quality is mind-blowing. Some of the tech is even better than top range Teslas.

@XDKX101 | 1 month ago

They didnt even let Toyota bring in their Landcruisers and Hiluxes for fear of their truck and SUV sales flatlining lol. Greatest democracy on the planet

@bigrob029 | 2 months ago

I mean ...id love to tell people how hard I drive that YangWang.

Car naming guy needs a raise!

@maaadcheddar | 2 months ago

Buying things from China results in one of two outcomes. "This is the biggest piece of shit I have ever used in my entire life" to "how the fuck could they make something this good this cheap?" There is no in-between.

Here in Indonesia, Chinese cars have begun to be loved in recent years, they prove that even with a cheap price they do not compromise on quality and durability. That 15K Icar 03/Chery/Jaecoo J6 is my favorite, made of full aluminum body, smart IWD, cool design, top interior quality, and with 279 hp it can reach 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds

Chinese EV industry is hella competitive and they are in expansion mode, not profit mode. AND unlike American companies, when they get subsidized by the government they aint gonna f around with that money.

My wife and I did a tour of southern China last year, taking in the Guangzhou motor show, and did about 1000ks driving Zeeeker and Xpeng EVs, loved the experience so much we are doing it again in a couple of months time, this time in Shanghai. This was organised through an American/Chinese YouTube channel Wheelsboy and we were so impressed with the level of accommodation, food, infrastructure and how clean and modern China was with no graffiti or rubbish to be seen.

I’m Amazed there are so many positive comments from Americans about Chinese cars! We love Chinese cars in South Africa and they flooding the car market! China is even installing Chinese charging stations at our petrol stations!

They need to bring these so we can stop paying for overpriced crap. Especially the Japanese cars have gotten crazy expensive for what you get and everyone says "you're paying for reliability".

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video explores Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids that are currently not available in the US market, examining their features, quality, and potential impact on the American automotive industry.

Key Points:

  • Prevalence of Chinese Products: The video starts by highlighting how much we rely on products made in China, from electronics to everyday items, questioning why cars are an exception.
  • DARCARS Alaska Trip: The creator was invited by DARCARS to test drive several Chinese EVs in Alaska, driving on the Dalton Highway.

  • Pricing and Value: The cars are noted to be significantly cheaper than comparable American or European models, offering a lot of features for the price.
  • Potential Market Disruption: The video suggests that if these cars were available in the US, they could disrupt the market due to their combination of features, quality, and affordability.
  • Design Inspiration: While some designs appear to be inspired by existing models from Mercedes, Ford, and others, the Chinese manufacturers are also adding their own unique spin.
  • Lifetime Warranty: Some of the vehicles offer a lifetime powertrain and battery warranty for the first owner, showcasing the manufacturer's confidence in their product.
  • Corner Cutting: The video points out that some cost-cutting measures are evident, particularly in the size of the brakes.

DID HE SAY, 1100 hp for 57K with an electric driving range of (750-800+)? It makes me rethink everything about the U.S. car industry.

@johnkenney6995 | 2 months ago

I'm old enough to remember when they said the same thing about Japanese cars.

@dtmfab7728 | 2 months ago

The biggest problem is, once the American dealerships get ahold of it, they mark them all up to all over a hundred thousand dollars.... American greed.

@TheRealEnate | 1 month ago

That vehicle for 24k here would absolutely murder the American Car market. An rightfully so... ample space looks great and feature filled.

Milwaukee Tools, the company, is owned by a Hong Kong based holding. So, yeah, it’s not only the products.

@TimGray | 2 months ago

They dont want them here because the american car companies would have to actually compete. They prefer the inflated car prices as it maximizes profits.

I drive a XPENG in Europe. Seriously the technology and build quality is mind-blowing. Some of the tech is even better than top range Teslas.

Car naming guy needs a raise!

Buying things from China results in one of two outcomes. "This is the biggest piece of shit I have ever used in my entire life" to "how the fuck could they make something this good this cheap?" There is no in-between.

Pretty sure he never had any intention of working with the KKK. Pretty sure that if the KKK came up to him and told him they wanted to join his movement, he’d tell them to fuck off, the same way virtually anyone would.

You are adding your own opinion and bias when you say this about excluding and cherry picking; we don't know if he would reject any groups when they have common interests that would help the working class.

You weren’t, huh? Wow, who woulda guessed?

It was a quick search; I remember reading and watching videos on the matter.

Correction: It was not directly with the KKK, but with white groups that shared common interests in helping the working-class movement. There is one event I remember when a different group and the KKK worked together to force the government to pay their social services checks, but it was a while ago.

They were willing to work with them, but they did not change their positions to accommodate them. They did not sell out their own members or members of other minority groups in order to appeal to them.

I did not say or mention changing our positions; I said coming together on things we agree on, which includes addressing working-class struggles.

Interesting that he did not know about the motive.

The interview might have taken place before it was known Ken Klippenstein published the manifesto.

Ken Klippenstein publishing the manifesto really destroyed the Zionist narrative.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Chris Small brought people in from was the fucking KKK.

I did not say Chris Smalls brought the KKK and other groups to ALU; I said that he brought the working-class people together on what they agreed on so as to build the Amazon Labor Union.

He did not start the movement by excluding certain groups, gangs, movements, organizations, or political leanings.

great stepping stone

I included Chris Smalls as an example of what can be done when we focus on bringing people together instead of focusing on excluding certain groups and political leanings when it comes to building a working-class movement.

I was not able to find when the Black Panther Party worked with groups associated with the KKK, but they did try to bring white organizations into their working-class movement.

One was the Young Patriot Organization (YPO), which was based in Hillbilly Harlem, an uptown neighborhood of Chicago populated by displaced white southerners. Many YPO members were racist, and they flaunted controversial symbols associated with southern pride, such as the Confederate flag. But like blacks and Latinos, the white Young Patriots and their families experienced discrimination in Chicago. In their case, it was because they were poor and from the South.^[[1] https://archive.is/CBXnU]

Here is a short video on the Rainbow Coalition of the Black Panther Party:

From North to South: Chairman Fred Hampton and the original Rainbow Coalition [09:37 | MAR 25 2021 | Reckon] https://lemmy.world/post/30176761

My point stands.

No surprise there; label everything that is to your left or that goes against your thinking as spam or the boogeyman of your choice.

Self-censorship and self-built echo chambers are not something to be proud of; they are unhealthy for society.

Thanks for the small chat.

All is well.

Peace.

The Video Description mentions his thoughts:

Norman Finkelstein: Well, my first reaction is that you have to have the facts and make a careful evaluation on the basis of the facts. When I first read about it this morning, I thought it had occurred at the Israeli consulate. And I assumed it was a Palestinian who had committed the action. And my first reaction was to remember the [Polish Jewish] fellow Herschel Grynszpan, who assassinated the second-level diplomat in the German legation in Paris in 1938.

He reacted in sheer horror at what was being done to the Jews. And he did an act. Of course, the Germans called it an act of terrorism, and that’s what triggered Kristallnacht. I’m not aware of any [historians] who condemned him for the act, even though you could say it was not a very smart thing to do because it triggered Kristallnacht.

So that was my initial reaction. But then that turned out to be wrong because of two things. It didn’t occur in the Israeli consulate. It occurred in front of a Jewish museum in Washington. And secondly, it’s unclear at this point whether the alleged perpetrator was even aware that these two people worked in the Israeli consulate. So that throws a large number of variables into the equation. There seems to be this big disconnect between a sophisticated manifesto and a fellow just going randomly in front of a Jewish museum in Washington and attempting to assassinate two people who presumably he thought were Jewish.

So everything remains foggy now. I would say for me, the bottom line is it could have been a nutty guy. That’s always possible. It could be a smart guy with a crazy project. It could be a crazy guy with a crazy project.

And that is why divide-and-conquer strategies work.

Building a working-class coalition requires bringing people together from all walks of life, not cherry-picking one or the other.

Again, this is difficult and time-consuming; it will not be easy.

Learning from the history of past working-class coalition attempts, we know that they are infiltrated and the leaders are assassinated and smeared.

Dialogue works; it helps bring opposing movements and organizations, gangs, together to help bring about a working-class movement.

Chris Smalls was able to achieve a great stepping stone when he was able to make the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) in Staten Island by bringing people from all walks of life and not cherry-picking certain groups and excluding them from the working-class movement.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The working-class coalition would help bring people together on working-class struggles.

If you look at the history of these movements, they involved befriending the KKK and conflicting gangs, where they are coming together to help fight against the ruler class.

This would also include when any group's rights are under attack.

To be able to do that, dialogue would have to be possible within these movements and organizations.

Oh, interesting!

The Useful Idiots journalists just did an interview with Norman Finkelstein, where he talks about Herschel Grynszpan.

Thanks for your comment!

I agree, identity politics and social issues are divide-and-conquer strategies the duopoly uses against the working class.

We need to build a rainbow coalition (Black Panther Party), similar to how Chris Smalls was able to make the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) in Staten Island.

Bringing together the working class on what we agree on instead of focusing on what we don't agree on.
